11 Reasons To Watch 'The Flash'

Are you itching for a new TV series to watch? Do you like superheroes? Look no further, because "The Flash" on The CW is the show for you. It is packed with action, romance, drama, and comedy, so you'll never get bored. Each episode will leave you wanting to watch the next.

1. Barry Allen, aka The Flash, is played by the amazingly handsome Grant Gustin.

You have seen him in "Glee," on a lifetime movie, and now he is the star of "The Flash."

2. Barry is constantly saving the day.

He speeds around the city saving people from all kinds of dangers. It doesn't matter how big or small the trouble is, he is there.

3. Barry isn't your typical hero.

Barry isn't the typical buff, manly-man, hero. He is quite dorky, nerdy, and has his own quirks about him.

4. The Flash is basically Arrow's BFF.

There are always Arrow references, crossovers, and guest appearances. Barry and Oliver are pretty much in a bromance. So if you love Arrow, you will most definitely love this one.

5. Barry has a sensitive side.

It isn't all saving lives and being famous for Barry. He truly cares about the people in his life and in his community.

6. The team that helps Barry is pretty amazing.

Gaining super speed can be quite a scary thing to process, but Barry has a team of scientists that double as his friends to help him through it.

7. The villains are pretty cool.

Take Grodd for example. He is a super intelligent gorilla that can speak to and control you through mind control.

8. Barry's multiple romances.

Who wouldn't want to date The Flash, or Barry Allen for that matter? He is smart, fast, clever, and oh so charming.

9. The characters know how to have a good time.

Once in a while, the team will leave S.T.A.R Labs to head over to the bars to have a little fun. Viewers can get a laugh out of their adventures as well.

10. The way Barry gains his powers.

Nothing like getting struck by lightning and waking up with super speed.

11. The logo is pretty cool.

What are you waiting for? Go watch it! Barry Allen and the gang await you. The first season is on Netflix!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
